Transmission temerature question?

[Rob Robinson]

Hi Tom. My tranny also starts out at 170 when first on the road and if I get
it up higher it will go back to 170 if I am going downhill or put the fan
override on, otherwise it generally runs somewhere above 170 but below 200.
I have never seen it at 230 but have got it up to 210 once while using the
retarder. How are the plans for your rally going? Wish I could be there.
Especially since Brisket Boy is attending.
